Associate a certificate

The feature described in this Help topic is available only if any of the following versions of both Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 are installed: Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, or Korean.

You can associate your stamp or signature with the certificate to officially prove that the stamp or signature actually belongs to you. The Group Approval solution supports certificates that were issued according to certificate standards, including public certificates and private certificates issued by companies. Associating your certificate means encryption using the certificate, not attaching it.

Prepare the certificate to use. If you want to use one of your public certificates, save it from the Web site where it was issued. The private key should also be saved. For more information, contact your issuing authority.
